Use this form to apply for an employer identification number (EIN). An EIN is a nine-digit number (for example, 12-3456789) assigned to employers, sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, estates, trusts, certain individuals, and other entities for tax filing and reporting purposes. If you file for the EIN online you can download a copy of the official SS4 form as a pdf.  Save this pdf in a safe place on your computer.  You should ensure that you have confirmation of your legal business name from your State before you apply for the EIN.
